Don’t Miss Out on the ALA’s Signature Luncheon Featuring Dahlia Lithwick of Slate

On Friday, April 27, the ALA will host its Signature Luncheon,
featuring Dahlia Lithwick of Slate, who will discuss the current term of the
United States Supreme Court, the current dynamics of the Court, as well as
other matters of interest.

Ms. Lithwick is one of the most recognized and respected voices in
national legal journalism. A senior editor at Slate and contributing editor at
Newsweek, she graduated from Yale University and Stanford Law School. She
clerked for Judge Procter Hug, Jr., of the United States Court of Appeals for
the Ninth Circuit and practiced law in Nevada before joining Slate, where she
writes the “Supreme Court Dispatches” and “Jurisprudence” columns and hosts the
popular “Amicus” podcast. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Harper’s,
The New Yorker, and The Washington Post. In addition, she has appeared on CNN
and ABC and is a regular guest of “The Rachel Maddow Show.” In 2013, she won
the National Magazine Award for her reporting on the Affordable Care Act, and
she has twice been awarded an Online Journalism Award for her legal commentary.

The event is sponsored by Baker McKenzie, Forde Law Offices LLP, Tabet
DiVito & Rothstein LLC, and Winston & Strawn LLP. It will begin at noon
and run until 1:30 p.m. at the Union League Club in Chicago (dress code must be
